Cande

 

The passion that Drives me now

 

       -- was once yours --

 

              IS MINE !

 

The Mindful devotion to truth

 

       -- was once yours --

 

              IS MINE !

 

The Beauty you created just Standing

 

       -- was once yours --

 

              IS MINE !!

 

You have never left

       you are always here

As a Vapor

       of love

Surrounding my carriage.

 

The Majesty of your Beauty

 

       Embraces every moment

 

              i draw Air.

 

[The Women who wins me

 Will indeed get 2 Fireflies

       for the price of one !]

 

I will not Survive

 

       without the presence of your strength

 

       pulsing in and out of every vein

              ..every pore of my skin.

 

I Honor you

 

       Every time I am Strong --

 

I Continue U --

 

       Every time I treat a stranger, as my own...

 

 

Fate tore you

 

       from me

 

              just in time...

 

I do not measure up to you

       I measure differently

 

   Steering my Cruel Streak

toward the Wisdom

       that was your,...

              NorthStar --

 

I am your Arms & Legs

       Beating Heart..

to fulfill the Duty

          we both drew...

 

I am free

   without you

 

I am whole

   despite you

 

I AM WHO I AM

  because a very sweet part of you

 

              IS Me...
